Not even really sure what the point of conferences are anymore, basically just a scheduling alliance....

The schools in the ACC & Big 12 might be willing to debate that conferences do not matter. The Big 10 & the SEC have a huge financial advantage over the ACC/Big 12 that will only continue to widen.

I just hope this doesn't go to a super conference or break away. A 24-team playoff with say, 48 to even 60 teams would be kinda dumb. If we were going to do that, we should have stayed at 12.

At some point it seems like we should start getting some sort of TV-money equity throughout the whole FBS. I doubt that will happen, so I figure allowing some better access to the playoff for ACC/Big 12/G6 would be a good tradeoff. G6 needs more than 1 guaranteed spot IMO, just for fairness and hope.

I just don't see even the top schools in the SEC/Big 10 agreeing to go to a Super-Conference because their television would revenue share would have to decrease since there are 34 SEC/Big 10 schools now & the Super Conference you describe would split that revenue 48-60 ways instead of 34. Notre Dame being in the Super would add some revenue but still the revenue per school goes down.

You make a solid point about one G6 team in a 24 team CFP, but reality in G6 have not been competitive. New Mexico might be able to compete this year though because that defense appears to be legit.

I think you can keep them happy by simply providing a 'chance'. A path.

Think about basketball, none of the Cinderella's ever win but just making it keeps fanbase engagement up. Definitely harder in football but still.
